June 16, 1981. Ronald Reagan, The hard work of Congress in passing the bipartisan budget resolution was not an academic exercise. It was a solemn commitment that transforms a mandate from the people into a compact with the people. The Congress and the administration together must protect the integrity of that compact.

David Stockman, Reagan Budget Director, this creates a framework, a discipline. It will put the big spenders in Congress, who are left in Congress, in a corral. And in the next several months, Congress will have numerous choices to either violate its own budget and take the consequences for that or vote to implement what is essentially called for in this resolution.

March 18, 1983. Remarks to Reporters on a House Budget Proposal. Ronald Reagan I'm asking the members of our party, responsible Democrats, and every concerned American to work with us in opposing the liberal Democratic budget.

Representative Leon Panetta (D California) fair weather budgeteers who come and go depending on whether their particular item is in here or not, can walk away from this budget. That s fine. But if we have a degree of responsibility in our soul, we have an obligation to do what is right, for the Congress, for the Country and for the American People. And it is for those reasons I urge an aye vote on this budget resolution.

Representative Bill Richardson (D New Mexico) If Congress is unable to pass a budget resolution, however imperfect, the budget process will fall apart and we will be blamed for being unable to discipline ourselves and be lambasted by a President who wants more defense, less for domestic spending and who cares not in the least about the record deficits he wants to pile up year after year.

Representative Bill Frenzel (R Minnesota) There are many among us that say let us preserve the budget process and pass a bill whether it is any good or not.

Representative Lynn Martin (R Illinois) To argue that the process demands we vote for it would be as if a person were due to be hung and the jury found out that person was not guilty and then you argued hang him anyway, save the process. Well, let s not hang the American people with this budget.

Representative Delbert Latta (R Ohio) Let me just say something about saving the process and also about the need for a budget resolution. First, it was not until 1974 that we came forth with this process, prior to that time we got by without it. We adopted the process as we thought it could reduce spending by using the process. With the exception of two years, we have not made much progress in slowing the growth of spending. We re not doing it in this resolution.

Representative James Jones (D Oklahoma), Chairman of the House Budget Committee Some have condemned the budget process saying it is not working. I think the fact of the matter is the budget process is working very well because that process is designed to force us to look at our resources and to delineate the hard choices we have to live within those resources. We know what the choices are. The big question is not the budget process but whether we have the political courage to implement and enforce that budget process.
